Toronto – Rogers Wireless released it’s plans to carry Google’s Android Open- Source Operating System on two of it’s phones come June.

The two phones were announced to be the HTC Dream and the HTC Magic. Both phones have a responsive touch screen, and the HTC Dream offers a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The Canadian company, Rogers Wireless, has decided against changing the names of the phones, unlike their southern counterparts in the U.S.

Google has pushed the use of it’s Android operating system to help spark popularity of it’s advanced wireless internet and other features that come exclusive with Google. The Android powered cell phones will be able to download software through the phones just like current available smart phones. This kind of cell phone has the upper hand when it comes to smart phones because it now carries the Google Android 1.5 SDK, which is known as the “Cupcake” branch of the project. This “Cupcake” upgrade is excessively more advanced than it’s current competition on the market today.

Both HTC phones are said to run twice as fast on Canada’s fastest mobile network. It is starting off exclusively in hand devices, but will eventually be placed in other consumer devices.

The Google Android is an exciting It news update for Canada and has been a much aticipated event.
